Eclipse has successfully closed a $50 million Series A funding round ahead of its anticipated mainnet launch in expected Q2. The funding round was co-led by Placeholder and Hack VC, with significant contributions from Polychain Capital, Delphi Digital, Maven 11, DBA, and Fenbushi Capital. This financial milestone has garnered support and excitement from various investors and firms in the crypto community, including OKX Ventures, which announced a strategic partnership with Eclipse. The investment aims to bolster Eclipse's modular vision, leveraging technologies like SVM for execution, Celestia for data availability, and Ethereum for settlement and consensus, a modular thesis championed by @neelsalami. This approach has attracted attention for its potential to innovate within the Ethereum ecosystem and beyond, being described as a "game changer" by supporters.
